At the time of registration, applicants will be given a permission-to-pay slip for the $10 administration fee and an admission paper. Students enrolling at the Greenville campus should call 903-454-9333 and students enrolling at the Sulphur Springs campus should call 903-885-1232 to reserve a seat for the Quick THEA test.

The total cost of the QTHEA test is $39, of which $10 is paid at the time of registration, and the $29.00 test fee (check, money order or voucher payable to NES, or Visa or MasterCard) is due at the time of the test. Students are required to bring a photo ID, and may be asked to bring a basic four-function (+,-,x,/) calculator for the math portion of the test.
